 Head Coach/Director of Team Planning and Athlete Development
National Training Group
Kyle has been coaching swimming since 1981. He has been with IST since 1996 and Head Coach since 1997. A top placing at the State High School Championships, while a junior at Shorewood High School in Seattle, cemented Kyle’s commitment to the sport of swimming and, a year later, his talent and leadership ability landed him a full-time scholarship to Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. While completing his degree in marketing, he competed in the distance freestyle and butterfly events as varsity team captain. Beginning his coaching career with the Innis Arden Swim Club in north Seattle, Coach Johnson defined a style of coaching and developed a program that would eventually be recognized and honored by his placement on the coaching staffs for the PNS Zone Team, the PNS LC All-Star Team and the USA Swimming Zone Distance Camps. He is currently an American Swimming Coach Association Level 4 certified coach. Kyle created the Mill Creek Swim Team ten years ago and developed it into one of the top 10 age group teams in the region, with over 100 participants. In addition, he has, and continues, to qualify athletes for their first Junior National, Senior National Championships and Olympic Trials. Kyle and his wife, Rhonda, have a son, Jackson.
